11:30 pm Saturday--Hit the Hay--very late for me
7:00 am Sunday--get rolling-also late for me-have coffee and just get re-grouped for the day
7:30 am Hit the shower
8:10 am Head out for church
12:00pm Sunday dinner at Pizza Hut
12:30pm Finally home, change clothes and think about a nice little nap while watching the Chiefs get throttled.
12:45 pm Head upstairs to watch the game and try to nap...DH and oldest DS are too loud for me.
1:15 pm DH cell phone starts ringing and it's of course UPstairs in our room, I let it ring....
1:25pm DH cell phone starts ringing again and I answer it...someone about cattle
1:30 pm It's IMPOSSIBLE to get a nap
1:35pm Head to the laundry room and start a nice big load.
1:40 pm Getting some iced tea, thinking about how I really wanted to nap for just a little while.
1:50 pm My poor football team is pathetic
2:00 pm Decide I can't watch the Chiefs...too sickening.
2:15 pm Head out to start mowing the yard
3:00 pm Finish mowing, need a big drink of iced tea
3:10 pm Fire up the weed eater and get moving
3:30 pm Finish weedeating--now I'm officially filthy and itchy
3:40 pm Another iced tea break(darn pizza makes me thirsty) I can hardly lift my right arm, it's got a case of the shakes from holding that darn weedeater!
3:50pm Decide to start pulling flowers, trimming the dead ones, watering, etc and as I go into the garage I decide it needs to be cleaned out.
4:00pm Garage can wait a bit...I've got apples all over the ground and a few left on the tree...
4:20 pm 2 1/2 five gallon buckets of apples sitting on the patio--I proceed to take some to my neighbor.
4:30 pm Head back to the garage project...ever since we sold our boat, I've had this "PILE" of stuff in the garage and you can hardly walk thru there. So I got some trash bags and started bagging up stuff, life jackets, etc to move out to the shed. Skis, knee boards, wake boards, bouys, etc etc...
5:00pm Well, now I can see the garage floor, it must be swept! Stuff thrown away, oh I feel better about all that!
5:30 pm Head to the kitchen to begin supper....whip up some corn bread, start warming left over potato soup and I have about 30# of green tomatoes in my kitchen that a friend gave me and I have not yet had time to grind them up for chow-chow. So I decide I'll fry a few with supper.
6:30 pm Supper is over, everyone needs haircuts in our house...DH heads back to the garage to set up for that. I put MY dishes in the dishwasher and head down. 1,2,3 haircuts out of the way.
7:00 pm Sweep my garage AGAIN! Oh yea, that load of laundry I started...just now getting into the dryer.
7:30 pm Supper mess is finally cleaned up...and......I start peeling apples for apple butter. Thank goodness for the Pampered Chef, Apple Peeler, Corer, slicer....wow!
8:30 pm Apples in crock pots, mess cleaned up, boys showered, headed to bed....they were tired and crabby.
8:45 pm I got into the shower...it was so nice!
9:00 pm I sat down and worked on a scarf I'm crocheting.
9:30 pm I decided I wanted to read, headed to bed....aaahhhh to lay down!
10 pm I crashed!
Now I listed all of this...not to sound like "I'm so busy" I was busy but it was a very productive day in our household. The guys all did stuff too....I love those kind of days when you get a lot done and....there's a little something to show for it! My goal is for this week to be as productive as my Sunday was!
I don't think I've ever shared my LOVE for Pampered Chef. I have a lot of things that I've acquired over the last 12 yrs or so and I LOVE THEM ALL! I refuse to bake anything unless it's in my stoneware. It is the Best! If you have never tried it...I recommend their stuff. Now some of it, I would NEVER use...but the day to day stuff that I have purchased...I would replace if something happened to it! There's your tidbit for the day!
Have a good one!

Wow that made me tired just reading it. But how nice to get that much done.
I love my stoneware. I have a few pieces and I use them all the time.
Have a great day
~M~
Shew. That's a lot of accomplishedness! I like those kind of days, too. But unfortunately my Sunday ended with the nap. :P Apple butter sounds delish, I made fried apples the other night and they were so good on pancakes the next morning.
Okay - I'm headed for a nap! AND I need some iced tea!
Okay, how do you make your apple butter. I made pear butter but I am not sure if I did it the right way. My mother-in-law has apples I need to get. Apple butter would be good. We went to the mountainds this weekend and we stopped a little place that had a lot of canned items. They had a cinnamon apple preserve that I think I will try to make.
i am so sad i dont have apples or green toms............ you are way too productive ugh i feel like a slug
Hello! I love all your pictures...you have lots of beautiful flowers! I would LOVE to know how you make apple butter! My husband loves it!
Yes, I'm married to Kim's younger brother. She is wonderful, and I'm glad she started a blog finally :) I think her camera is a Canon Rebel.
